Answer

AWAKE

Today's word describes the state of being conscious and alert, as opposed to sleeping. It can function as both a verb meaning to stop sleeping and an adjective describing someone who is not asleep. The word comes from Old English and combines the prefix 'a' with 'wake,' literally meaning 'on wake' or in a state of wakefulness.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still seems incomplete, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. The letter A is particularly prone to doubling in English words.
